I understand that many DOs actually do get into competitive fields, such as surgery, anesthesia, ER, derm and IM subspecialties (cardiology, etc). In terms of private practice, when one sees a doctor with a DO rather than an MD, do you think some may object to see this doctor? How many would do this? Would it be enough so where the DO doesnt have as many patients as the MD across the street, and therefore doesnt make nearly as much (even if they are in the same specialty). I also know DOs and MDs usually work in the same practice, so lets assume Clinic A is all DOs and Clinic B across the street is all MDs. Thoughts?
